I purchased a new 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan on 4/17/02. Since then, this vehicle has been in the shop for multiple problems with the airbag light/seatbelt tensioners and malfunctioning automatic doors. This time the van was in the dealership for the airbag light again. Per the dealership the airbag module was replaced again and tensioner overlay harness completed as per star. The rear automatic door wouldn't open again, had already been reprogrammed and this time the liftgate latch was replaced. This vehicle is a safety hazard!!!!

On 4/17/02 I purchased a new 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan. This vehicle had been in the shop several times since the time of purchase. This time it was the airbag light again. According to the dealership, airbag diagnostic tests were performed and the left front seatbelt tensioner circuit was reprogrammed. I informed the mechanic that the second row seatbelts would not "lock" when you jerked on them, but according to the mechanic they were "operating normally at this time". I also had to have them look at the rear liftgate again. Per the dealership, the codes were reprogrammed again.

I purchased a new 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan on 4/17/02. On 2/21/03 the van was in the dealership with the airbag light on again! this was the third time since I purchased the vehicle that the airbag light had come on. This time the dealer said the left front seatbelt tensioner shorted and had to be replaced.
